Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses. | Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. |
A perverse person spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. | A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. |
It is honorable to refrain from strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel. | It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. |
A fool's lips bring strife, and a fool's mouth invites a flogging. | A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. |
By insolence the heedless make strife, but wisdom is with those who take advice. | Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. |
Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. | Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. |
For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind. | For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. |
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. | Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. |
